Track description | Creative process
Since I am still developing my style, I chose to do the remake of the song in retro style. ACNH soundtracks sound easy, but that is the fun of it, it really isn't. I tried my best to keep the Animal Crossing vibes and also make it retro.

very chiptune-y ! feels like an older version of animal crossing (?). But, not feeling the sun in this for some reason. There is a playfulness to the track which I appreciated !

This is a great chiptune vibe that works very well! For my money the only tweaks I would make are to pull the bass track more towards the center and bring the hard left and right pans in a bit. Nevertheless, this is a good fit for the theme and the composition is fun and light. Great job!

This track is fun! love the classic Chiptune tone to it. The bass track is hugging my ear a little close but overall great fun song!

Fitting track with positive but restrained mood. I think the panning of the bass to the left was detrimental to the experience of the song, as it felt a bit unbalanced with the melody and percussion. I would also have loved to hear some counterpoint melodies to spice up the song. Overall, nice work keeping it minimalistic and taking it to your own style while making it credible.

Apart from the bass being too friendly with my left ear, this piece was great! Nice synthy vibe :)

Nice and interesting take on the topic ! The bass instrument hard panned to the left kinda throws the whole mix off balance and gets me distracted, but the melody is very catchy, congrats on a nice entry :-)

A funny track for sure! The mix is a bit unbalanced, but it's a good starting point, some fixes and this track could work in a demake of the game, nice vibes

Has a great fun vibe! I have to agree Serhii, that the bass on the hard left side is pretty distracting, especially since the sound itself is pretty powerful/bassy. Good stuff!

That's the  trademark Beatles Stereo Mix!  Sweet tune.

Place bass hard left was very strange idea) It`s very distracting, but track overall is interesting, keep going, good submission)

Thanks for the feedback! I always play around with my panning. Maybe I should double the track and face them opposite next time

Keep developing this style! I like it, and think it has a lot of potential. Does feel like it could go well with an 8bit animal crossing approach, and I like the 8-bit percussion too ^^

Thanks so much! I really enjoy it :)

At first i though it was a bit peculiar, but at the end of the day that the kind of track Animal Crossing could have on an 8bit console.

It is indeed a bit ‘strange,’ but especially the old school Animal Crossing has that kind of music. Thanks for your feedback! :)

Amazing demake!! It works perfectly, really good submission. Just one thing that bothered me a bit, is the bass being only on the left is a bit weird to my ears, but overall great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback and compliment! I do play around a lot with my panning, but maybe I should double track it and make it opposite directions.
